John Tyler Housley completed this course, spending 3 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.

I found this course to be slightly less useful than its companion, but there is plenty of worthwhile material to be found as well. Additionally, this course utilizes concepts from Learning How to Learn which makes it worthwhile as a review as well as a fresh perspective on the overlapping material. Of course, there is a plenty of content here that is useful in its own right. Among the topics covered were the importance of broadening ones passions, making the most of online learning via MOOCs, as well as a number of topics pertaining to careers and life enhancement. Again, the instructor was wonderful and clear. The material was presented at a very accessible level and the commitment required to complete the course is surprisingly low relative to its benefit.
